Some BF4 Fixes

[zorplex]

Do you experience terribly long load times? Do you have a spare 32GB+ flash drive laying around? I've got good news! (NOTE: Not going to beat an SSD, but should be an improvement for anyone using an HDD.)

Also a bonus fix for poor FPS performance that may help some people.

How much better does it work (I'm talking about the load times - seeing as I already have BF4 installed on a SSD)?
And about the FPS extras, how well does it work and how much does it affect the graphics of the game?

It probably won't help if you are already running BF4 off an SSD. It's mainly for people who have an HDD and can end up spending several minutes loading a map. I had moved BF4 to a HDD since my SSD was running low on space and I wasn't playing the game often. I just moved the .cas files to my SSD which leaves all the other BF4 files on my HDD. Frees up about 12GB on my SSD and I still get fast load times, win-win.

There was some bug with the installer that sometimes didn't install certain DirectX parts that came with the game. It just depends on if your install was one of the faulty ones. It won't hurt anything re-installing the DirectX again. There have been reports of fewer frame drops and 50% FPS improvements after installing the DirectX files. I haven't had performance issues since I switched to Win 8.1, so it didn't make a difference for me.

Weird about running the 32bit version. I remember another guide that said make sure you run the 64bit version.

Cool stuff though!
